When an official or those who still do not wake up from certain realities say again that the Cuban Baseball Federation is a non-governmental organization, take into account the example of this article, among many others, so that they are not fooled by those who want to continue playing with the truth and with the intellect of others. Like any Cuban institution, body or entity, being independent from the government is just a story on the road. It is increasingly demonstrated that its most important decisions have not been and will not be taken without the approval of those with the true power of command.
But without denunciation we go with the fact itself, which was made public thanks to a letter from Félix Anazco, one of the members with shame that still remains in the Camagüey and Cuban press in general. There is exposed part of what was expressed to the journalist himself by the pitcher of his province Yosimar Cousin after publicly leaving his decision to break his link with the FCB after his constant exclusions from how much team will join this 2021 to travel abroad.
Anazco confirms in its publication that the security itself blocked a Cousín contract in the Mexican Pacific League with the Charros de Jalisco, communicating it to the Cuban baseball authorities with the aim of preventing him from traveling, at least while he was officially linked with the FCB .
Felix Anazco He clarified on his official Facebook profile that Cousín has been in the middle of an investigation for human trafficking for some time, for allegedly being involved in an exit from the country, either illegally by sea or staying at an international event. For this reason, he warned that security keeps him blocked without being able to leave the Island individually or as part of a delegation. The journalist said that the Ministry of the Interior came to meet with the athlete himself since February to try to elucidate the issue, but until today it remains unclear or something has been verified that makes them prevent Cousín from leaving abroad and they do not want to say it officially .
If the withdrawal requested by the 2020 national subtitle is approved with the Bulls, it will be necessary to see what happens then with the immigration regulation in case he decides to travel on his own to join a league this winter or for next year. The importance that this situation has taken can harm him for several months without being able to resume his career as a player outside the Cuban sports system.
The best thing that could happen would be that this regulation is abolished as soon as they confirm their separation from the FCB and INDER, because otherwise it would not only be that with the constant exclusions of national teams they pushed them to this decision to request their withdrawal from the Cuban baseball, but they would also be almost forcing him to really get involved in human trafficking with a leak at sea.
This is all a real shame and it ends up affecting everyone. Cousín and family for suffering this whole process and living days of uncertainty and frustration. Cuban baseball with a new loss of value that further weakens an already impoverished National Series. And the sports, military and political authorities because they once again reveal a connection and an absolute dependence, whose modus operandi every day becomes more absurd, cruel and indefensible.
That’s the part of the breach of the deal with MLB that they don’t want to accept. It is clear that from the United States there were politicians who never wanted the agreement and fought to disrupt it until it was achieved. But the main argument that they always used is unobjectionable, because simply the Cuban Baseball Federation where the only one escapes the government, security or the communist party is in their name. And we all already know that it is the facts that define the realities, like this so regrettable one of a young man who right now has had to give up a lot to have the right to an aspiration in his future.
